Thumpity bump

Sorry to keep you waiting for more posts! I've been under the weather for the past week, so things (me, in particular) have been going pretty slow around here. But I finally got a night's sleep without coughing last night, so things are looking up!

Here's a cute little girl with a funny-looking nose going down our basement stairs yesterday.

Don't let the title worry you... she didn't fall. It's her favorite way of going down the stairs. See her demo below.

Yes, that's a sticker on her nose. She only earned ONE yesterday. ;-) And Auntie Kris, I took your advice and cut up the sticker pages. I offered her a choice of four, and it worked like a charm!! So a big THANK YOU to you!!! It saved a lot of decision time! :-)

Daycare activities

We haven't visited Courtney's daycare service in a while. Let's peek in and see what she's teaching the kids today.

Mary's little lamb must've followed her to daycare that day. Bet he won't do that again! See why in this 2nd video clip.

There seemed to be a shortage of blankets that day, so they had to take turns.

Still earning stickers...............

Only 4 of them on Tuesday, though. ;-) And she knows where Grandma keeps her stash.

And if Grandma doesn't hurry emptying the potty, etc., Little Miss Courtney helps herself.

She's quite a slow decision-maker once she gets at the stickers, though. Starts peeling off one... nope, not that one... peels another one off... nope, not that one... puts it back... thinks some more... peels off another... nope, not that one. At this point Grandma is tired of being patient and makes Courtney take the last one she peeled off. Then we have another one of "those moments".

Any suggestions for weaning a 2-yr.-old off sticker awards??? ;-)

Being TWO

"I guess Grandma means business when I won't leave the straw in my drink box... and throw my food on the floor... and spit at her."

Yep, we do have our moments. And we had quite a few of them yesterday. ;-)

Still dang cute, even when she's pouting, isn't she?

Bath time again

"Bubbles!"

How to wash your face fast!

I suspect Courtney will have no trouble when it comes to swimming lessons! She has never minded getting water in her face.
